Native Instruments Kompakt

Kompakt is a multi-instrument sample player, based on the same engine as
Kontakt, but streamlined for ease of use and
functionality. It's designed for users who have library's of sampled
sounds and instruments that you just call up and play, without all the
hassle of creating, editing, mapping and layering individual samples to
create an instrument. Kompakt supports all major sample library formats
(KONTAKT, GigaSampler, HALion, EXS, AKAI, and more) and ships with over
200 professional instruments and sounds like pianos, basses, loops,
drums, guitars, strings, choirs, brass, percussion, leads, pads, basses,
and more. Available for Mac and PC it supports all major formats (ASIO,
Core Audio, SoundManager, VST-2.0, Audio Units, RTAS, DXiII, MME, and Direct Sound).

Kompakt may be the quickest and coolest way to build a production-ready
instrument collection. Instruments are loaded into a virtual rack with
space for up to eight simultaneous instruments, so you can switch between
different instruments on-the-fly without having to re-load instruments.
Each instrument can have its own MIDI settings and individual outputs.
Instruments can also be split and layered across the keyboard for
interesting multi-instrument combinations. An integrated browser with
full drag and drop support is built-in for easily finding and loading
samples & libraries.

The eight-part multitimbrality and 256-voice polyphony offer plenty of
room to be an entire band with a single instance of Kompakt! It also
lets you reshape your sample instruments much like a synthesizer. It
offers six filter types, three envelopes, and four LFOs so you can still
tweak out the sounds. Stereo effects including reverb, chorus, and delay
are also offered to liven' up your sounds. All instrument parameters can
be accessed and adjusted right from the front panel of Kompakt as well
as MIDI controllers (with MIDI Learn function).

Other features include adjustable velocity control for each instrument,
portamento (glide), various microtuning options, Master Filter
section with low pass, high pass, band pass and 3-band EQ, and Direct-From-Disk
streaming (sample is streamed from disk rather than loaded into RAM).
Having Kompakt in your computer is like having a powerful synthesizer
hungry to bring any sample-libraries you have to life. Why spend big bucks on
a Gigasampler when you can get Kompakt for less than $200?
